Working Mother magazine today recognized Unilever U.S. as one of the 2016 “Working Mother 100 Best Companies” for its outstanding leadership in creating progressive programs for its work force, in the areas of advancement of women, flexibility, child care and paid parental leave. The 100 Best Companies are featured in the October/November issue of Working Mother and on workingmother.com.

“Working parents face many unique challenges. We are honored to be recognized for supporting all of our incredible parents at Unilever,” said Mike Clementi, Unilever North America Vice President of Human Resources. “Providing an inclusive workplace for our employees is critical to our growth as a company. By offering the resources, policies and programs parents need to be successful both at work and at home, we are empowering all our employees to perform at their best across the organization. In the past year, we made great strides in supporting our employees, including signing the White House Equal Pay Pledge and increasing our maternity leave benefit. While we are proud of the progress we have made, there is still much to do to advance this important agenda. We are honored to be recognized by Working Mother.”

Jennifer Owens, Editorial Director of Working Mother Media, says, “For 31 years, Working Mother has tracked the progress of companies that lead in creating a supportive workplace for America’s families. Now more than ever, with changing family dynamics, parental benefits are a key weapon in the war for talent. These companies aim to create the culture that attract the best talent.”

Subha Barry, Vice President, General Manager, Working Mother Media, says, “This year’s class of winning companies goes the extra mile to support working moms and all diverse families. In 2016, fully paid leave offerings have grown to an average of 9 weeks, up from 8 last year. The Working Mother 100 Best Companies continues to pave the way for employers nationwide to support their employees, both personally and professionally.”
